16 year old Athiya Kamran suffers from blood cancer. After months of trying, when the doctors had finally given her only 3 months of survival, CPAA happened to hear out her last wish. As an ardent fan of Sanjay Dutt she had written a shayari (peom) for him and wished to meet and read it out to him . When we heard about this, we immediately got into action and passed on the word to him. Sanjay Dutt was more than willing to oblige and invited her along with family to his house right away.  

We were indeed fortunate to have been able to fulfill Athiya's wish.
